HYDROCORTISONE- HYDROCORTISONE TABLET
PD-RX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
----------
HYDROCORTISONE TABLETS, USP
20 MG
DESCRIPTION
Hydrocortisone tablets, USP contain hydrocortisone which is a
glucocorticoid.
Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical steroids, both naturally occurring
and synthetic,
which are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Hydrocortisone USP is white
to practically white, odorless, crystalline powder with a melting
point of about 215º C. It
is very slightly soluble in water and in ether; sparingly soluble in
acetone and in alcohol;
slightly soluble in chloroform.
The chemical name for hydrocortisone is
pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione,11,17,21-trihydroxy-,
(11β)-. Its molecular weight is 362.46 and the structural formula is
as outlined below.
Hydrocortisone tablets, USP are available for oral administration in
three strengths: each
tablet contains either 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg of hydrocortisone.
Inactive ingredients:
colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate and
microcrystalline
cellulose.
ACTIONS
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have salt-
retaining properties, are used as replacement therapy in
adrenocortical deficiency
states. Their synthetic analogs are primarily used for their potent
anti-inflammatory
effects in disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids cause profound and varied metabolic effects. In
addition, they modify
the body's immune responses to diverse stimuli.
